Mark Salisbury Speaking Topics
Bring the energy and insight of The Professor is Live! with Mark Salisbury to your next conference or organizational event. Our team specializes in inspiring participants to embrace a positive, impactful future where they can make a real difference -- as you can witness in our LinkedIn Live events, our YouTube Channel, and on Spotify.
In this talk, we dive into the story of the Luddites. Most people think they were just anti-technology rebels smashing machines because they feared progress. But, as we’ll discover, the truth is a lot more complicated—and way more relevant to our own lives than you might think.
Where are we on the curve of AI adoption? In this talk, Mark dives into Everett Rogers’ classic Diffusion of Innovations theory—exploring how AI is spreading from innovators and early adopters into the mainstream. From the “cool kids” testing the boundaries to families using AI for homework help and professionals relying on it daily, we explore why the genie is out of the bottle and how AI is augmenting—not replacing—our work.
In this talk, Mark Salisbury tackles the question: is AI making us smarter or dumber? Building on an MIT study suggesting chatbots might dull our thinking, Mark explores how AI tools can both hinder and enhance human problem-solving. He argues that when used wisely, AI doesn’t weaken our minds—it frees us to focus on creativity, critical thinking, and deeper learning.
In this talk, Mark tackles the big career question shaking up tech: can you still make a living coding when AI now writes roughly 25% of U.S. code at companies like Microsoft and Alphabet? A new Pew Research Center survey shows nearly half of Americans think software engineering will be among the jobs most disrupted by AI — even more than teaching or journalism. Tune in for a candid, lively presentation about what these trends mean for students, developers, and the future of coding itself.
